Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de conversion d'énergie permettant de transformer le mouvement récurrent de la houle en énergie électrique. Ce système comprend une structure de détection de pression telle qu'un transducteur de pression (10) ou un ensemble bobine et aimant mobiles (50), placé sous le niveau d'eau, à l'endroit (20) où se produit la houle pour(i) enregistrer les variations du niveau d'eau (18, 19) au-dessus de la structure de détection de pression (10, 50), et (ii) fournir une sortie d'énergie électrique correspondant aux changements de la pesanteur associés aux changements du niveau d'eau. Un support de transfert (12) est couplé d'une extrémité à la structure de détection de pression et s'étend de l'autre extrémité à un endroit situé sur le rivage. Un dispositif de réception d'énergie, tel qu'un bloc de batteries d'accumulateurs (14) ou une charge électrique, est couplé au support de transfert à l'endroit situé sur le rivage pour recevoir la sortie d'énergie du support de transfert et traiter ainsi l'énergie devant être utilisée.

Abstract: On décrit un réactif et un procédé associé destinés à être utilisés pour passiver une surface d'un biomatériau, le réactif comprenant un groupe réactif latent et un acide aliphatique bifonctionnel (par exemple un acide gras), en combinaison avec un groupe espaceur qui relie le groupe réactif latent à l'acide aliphatique de telle sorte qu'il préserve la fonction désirée de chaque groupe. Lorsque le réactif est lié à la surface, par l'intermédiaire du groupe réactif latent, ledit réactif présente l'acide aliphatique à l'environnement physiologique, in vivo, d'une manière suffisante (en termes de concentration et d'orientation par exemple) pour retenir et orienter l'albumine.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a means for accurately locating fault points by calculating the surge propagation speed at the time of surge identification. The present invention includes a method of calculating surge propagation speed in a fault point location system comprising: substations [1] installed along transmission and distribution lines for sending surge detection time information along the transmission and distribution lines to a master station [2]; and the master station [2] for locating a fault point on the basis of the surge detection time information; characterized in that the surge propagation speed is obtained on the basis of detection times of a surge voltage or a surge current at the first substation positioned adjacent to a fault point along the transmission and distribution line and another substation positioned next to the first substation together with a length of the transmission and distribution line between the first and other substations. Based on the distance between substations [1A and 1B] and the difference of surge propagation time, the surge propagation speed v AB can be computed. Therefore, the surge propagation speed v AB that is obtained can be used as the surge propagation speed v which will be used for identifying the location of the fault point [P]. Moreover, such surge propagation speed is used to identify the location of a fault point, therefore enabling an accurate fault point location under varying conditions such as of transmission and distribution line or weather.

Abstract: A packaged article including an adhe-sive-sided article (1), such as an adhesive bandage, a release paper (13) facing the adhesive side (3) thereof, and packaging top support (4) and bottom backing (9) sheets. The facing sur-faces of the top support (4) and bottom back-ing (9) sheets peripherally surrounding the ad-hesive-sided article (l) have cohesive surfaces (6, 7 and 10). An adhesive strip, preferably a double-sided adhesive strip (5), attaches the non-adhesive side (2) of the adhesive-sided ar-ticle (1) to the top support sheet (4). Relative strength adhesives and cohesives are employed so that the bottom sheet (9) and top sheet (4) are first separated to leave the top sheet (4) and adhesive-sided article (1) together. The top sheet (4) is used as an applicator for plac-ing the article (1) onto a target surface (20), such as a patient's skin. The cohesive surface (6, 7) of the top sheet (4) surrounding the ar-ticle (1) does not adhere to the target surface (20). At the time, however, the top sheet "pops up" from the article (1) now adhered in place.  The top sheet (4) is then removed by breaking the bond of the adhesive strip (5). All of this is conveniently done with one hand. A method of making the package and a convenient as-semblage of packages similar to a matchbook assemblage (17) is also included.

Abstract: A method and system provide an automated cleaning apparatus (20) for cleaning various types of articles, wherein each type of article is detected and washed according to its own pre-determined combination. The cleaning apparatus has a storage device (32) storing an array of pre-determined chemical combinations and cleaning parameters, including specifying cleaning chemicals to be used on the various identified article types. A transponder (23) is provided with identifying information of the article type.  A transceiver detects the type of article from the transponder and communicates that identifying information to a processor.  Based on the detected identifier, the processor selects from the storage device the proper chemical combination and cleaning parameters for washing the identified type of article. A control device coupled to the processor delivers the chemicals specified by the selected chemical combination. Finally, a cleaning subsystem coupled to the processor cleans the articles using the delivered chemicals and other specified parameters.
